Today's Scripture *July 6, 2009*
Genesis 15:6
And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Although Abram had been demonstrating his faith through his actions, it was his belief in the Lord, not his actions, that made Abram right with God (Romans 4: 1-5 Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God? If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way. For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.) We, too, can have a right relationship with God by trusting Him. Our outward actions--church attendance, prayer, good deeds--will not by themselves make us right with God. A right relationship is based on faith--the heartfelt inner confidence that God is who He says He is and does what He says He will do. Right actions will follow naturally as by products of our genuine faith.
Thank You Father God for sending us Your One and Only Son, Jesus Christ!
Thank You that we can have a right relationship with You by faith!
May our lives, our actions, our words, and our hearts be pleasing unto You, O Righteous God of Heavens Armies.
In the Matchless Name of Jesus, Amen..
Bless you!
